Abstract. Current review presents the data of numerous studies on hyperammonemia (HA) performed over the past few years. As practice shows, the use of medicamentous therapy aimed at reducing elevated levels of ammonia in human organism, as well as relieving HA clinical manifestations, such as asthenia, fatigue, and hepatic encephalopathy, is becoming increasingly important. L-ornithine-L-aspartate currently plays a leading role in the treatment of this pathology. At the same time, active searches for new effective methods for treating HA are continuing.
